The Rage of Dragons
Autor Evan Winteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mar 2020
Winner of the Reddit/Fantasy Award for Best Debut Fantasy Novel
The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for almost two hundred years. The lucky ones are born gifted. One in every two thousand women has the power to call down dragons. One in every hundred men is able to magically transform himself into a bigger, stronger, faster killing machine.
Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war.
Young, gift-less Tau knows all this, but he has a plan of escape. He's going to get himself injured, get out early, and settle down to marriage, children, and land. Only, he doesn't get the chance.
Those closest to him are brutally murdered, and his grief swiftly turns to anger. Fixated on revenge, Tau dedicates himself to an unthinkable path. He'll become the greatest swordsman to ever live, a man willing to die a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill the three who betrayed him.
The Rage of Dragons launches a stunning and powerful debut epic fantasy series that readers are already calling "the best fantasy book in years."

Awesome, had me at the edge of my seat for the entire ride. Contender for book of the year for me. Sick ending line, too.

Notă biografică
Born
in
England
to
South
American
parents,
Evan
Winter
was
raised
in
Africa
near
the
historical
territory
of
his
Xhosa
ancestors.
Evan
has
always
loved
fantasy
novels,
but
when
his
son
was
born,
he
realized
that
there
weren't
many
epic
fantasy
novels
featuring
characters
who
looked
like
him.
So,
before
he
ran
out
of
time,
he
started
writing
them.
Recenzii
"A
refreshingly
brutal
and
imaginative
tale
of
survival
and
revenge.
Evan
Winter's
battles
are
visceral,
bloody
masterpieces,
and
Tau's
climb
from
exiled
Lesser
to
legendary
warrior
is
earned
in
a
way
few
writers
could
hope
to
match."—David
Dalglish,
author
of
the
Shadowdance
Series
